Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether the Government plans to extend the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund to cover businesses that predominantly supply services to the retail, hospitality and leisure sector.

Businesses are eligible for the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund if they are based in England with a property that has a rateable value of up to £51,000 and is wholly or mainly being used for the purposes of retail, hospitality and/or leisure. The Government is also providing an unprecedented package of wider support to businesses across the economy in response to the current coronavirus outbreak.
